Answer:

Answer: C

Melamine resin or melamine formaldehyde (also shortened to melamine) is a resin with melamine rings terminated with multiple hydroxyl groups derived from formaldehyde. This thermosetting plastic material is made from melamine and formaldehyde.

Melamine formaldehyde is a thermosetting plastic (or thermoset) that strengthens as it is heated during its preparation.
